Ok. Time for numbers. I actually set the thermostat to 98 last night. The substrate is 90 degrees on top of the substrate. The glass under the substrate, which is directly touching the UTH is 97 degrees, which is obviously not hot to the touch at all. Based on what y'all have said, I'll leave it here and see what I can do to keep him a happy camper. If anything changes I'll report back.

I love this site, everyone is so helpful. I really appreciate the feedback.

95 max on the glass......
You are warm blooded and your reptile is cold blooded so what is warm to your touch is HOT to theirs.

Get the husbandry right, or get rid of the snake. Everything will be better with proper husbandry. Appetite, attitude, shedding, and digestion.

First of all, getting husbandry right is why I'm asking questions.

Secondly, appetite, attitude, shedding, and digestion are all perfect, even when my temps were above what has been recommended on this post. I'm no where near needing to get rid of the snake. Or my BRB that's happy and healthy either. Don't be a jerk.

Temps are being adjusted so the glass isn't over 95. The substrate should be around high 80s if I do that. Thanks everyone.
